Joemeek Releases JM478 'Meekrophone'
 March 6, 2000
Joemeek has announced the release of a second solo feature
microphone to add to their Meekrophone range. This
microphone shares the design and quality features of the
popular and respected JM47 'Meekrophone' and adds a
unique figure 8 polar pattern circuit, to allow the possibility
of stunning M&S recording.
The new microphone offers
the same 1" gold diaphragm capsule as the JM47
(except that it now has dual active sides when in figure 8
mode), the same coupling transformer, and all new
pre-amplifier and power circuitry. This allows the dual
polarity phantom powering of the capsule required to give a
perfectly stable figure 8 polar pattern, as well as the classic
sounding cardioid mode. There is also a selectable high pass
filter (100Hz).
The JM478 microphone is supplied in a
luxury flight case, with a shockmount and mic cable. A new
boom stand adaptor for studio recordings is also supplied.
The mic is priced extremely competitively, using a
combination of British design with volume offshore
manufacture. There is no other figure 8 capable
microphone in this price range that offers the
pattern stability of the JM478. This enables infinitely more natural sounding stereo, and breathtaking acoustic recording results.
The JM478
microphone shares its release with the new 'Super TrakPak’, Joemeek's answer to achieving ultimate stereo
acoustic recordings. The Super TrakPak is a combination of the JM47, new JM478 and VC7 dual channel mic
pre. The 3 item package contains everything that a studio needs to get a perfect stereo line level sound onto a
recording system. This really is the best way to capture real stereo from acoustic environments, i.e. choral
groups, orchestras, small bands, percussion etc.
